I Apologize

I speak for men, as the men who need to say this the most are too often too cowardly too.

To all of you who ladies who search for love, I know it can be said that you can choose your relationships better, but we're half of the problem here, we treat you like trash, like objects, but you're so much more, even when we treat you otherwise. You deserve the world, but you get trash.

I'm sorry.

Is your profile age correct?
If so, please come back in a few years.

Am I not a man? Have I not seen the world for myself?

@Winterwanderer: No. You haven't "seen the world" yet. Not even close. That's clear by your sort of sophomoric strategy. Nothing personal of course. It was a good try. But you've got a ways to go before you perfect it.

There's no pretense to my words, no immaturity.

If you want to understand me you can, I understand rhetoric & you're good at it, but you didn't give me any explanation, if you have one I'll hear it, but please don't speak that way to me.

I did give you an answer to your question. I'll do it again if you need.
No. You haven't "seen the world" yet.
And No...you're not a man yet if your profile age is accurate.
UNLESS you've spent some time in the military and have been entrusted with real responsibility that is.
No rhetoric there. Cut and dry.

Sure I've seen the world, maybe not yours, maybe not all of it, but I know what it's like.

I don't think age or experience alone define a man, I think they can give us so much, but being a man is defined large in part by who we decide to be despite the circumstances we have or haven't been through.

I can speak a bit about the world, I try not to speak absolutely, but I think I can say pretty confidently that there are things guys do sometimes that is wrong, & they don't apologize for it. I can say pretty confidently that there are girls who want that apology.

A small thing I can do is acknowledge & [i]hope[/i] to remedy that.
